Gosiṅgasālavanadāya

Place

A forest tract near Ñātika where the Buddha’s visits to Anuruddha, Nandiya and Kimbila, and later to Sāriputta, Mahā-Moggallāna and other eminent monks, occasioned the teaching of the Cūḷagosiṅga and Mahāgosiṅga Suttas.

A forest tract near Ñātika. Once, when Anuruddha, Nandiya, and Kimbila were living there, they were visited by the Buddha, who came from Giñjakāvasatha. The result of the visit was the teaching of the Cūḷagosiṅga Sutta (q.v.) (M.i.205 f). On another occasion, when the Buddha was staying there with many eminent monks, among whom were Sāriputta, Mahā-Moggallāna and others, their conversation led to the teaching of the Mahāgosiṅga Sutta (q.v.) (M.i.212 f).
